Summary:
Since 2004, I have been involved in teaching activities concerning Engineering Sciences, such as: 320016 - Enginyeria Tèrmica (Thermal Engineering) at the ESEIAAT, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC, Barcelona-Spain, 2021-present), Thermodynamics for Mechanical Engineering and Electrical Engineering Programs at the National Distance Education University (UNED, Barcelona-Spain, 2013-2018), Chemical Engineering Program at the Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja (UTPL, Loja- Ecuador, 2004-2009). Furthermore, I have supervised four doctoral theses at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya-BarcelonaTech (UPC, Barcelona-Spain, 2014-2019). In what follows, some details are remarked.
In the period 2004-2009, I was responsible for teaching a set of courses of the Chemical Engineering Program at the UTPL University (Loja-Ecuador), concerning to Fluid Mechanics, Heat Transfer, Unit Operations IV (Chemical Reaction Engineering), Process Simulation (for Chemical Engineering), Chemical Engineering Equipment Design, Applied Computation, Calculus (Single-variable and Multiple-variable), and Differential Equations. The Fluid Mechanics course tackled the fundamentals of mass, momentum, and energy transport phenomena, as applied in fluids. My approach consisted of introducing physical fundamentals and general transport equations using vectorial-tensorial calculus and the assimilation of these concepts by resolving problems. This course aimed to provide the foundations of subsequent subjects such as Heat Transfer (Heat conduction, convection, and thermal radiation) and Mass Transfer. The Chemical Reaction Engineering (Unit Operations IV) course aimed the analysis of chemical species mass (and molar) conservation equations and chemical reactions' kinetics, as applied to homogeneous and heterogeneous chemical reactors. In addition to analytical solutions, I have incorporated mathematical and numerical packages such as MATLAB for the numerical solution of complex problems that involve sets of ordinary differential equations. The Process Simulation course emphasized the dynamics and control of chemical processes, including their mathematical modeling based on transport phenonmena (momentum, heat and mass), and chemical reaction kinetics. Then, these dynamic models were employed in the design of control structures, supported by numerical simulations in SIMULINK (MATLAB). The Chemical Engineering Equipment Design course was oriented to the design and optimization of chemical processes, from the unit operations and chemical reactors to their integration as a whole chemical processes system; and its optimization through linear/non-linear and mixed-integer programming. Calculus (I, II) and Differential Equations courses have tackled single- and multiple-variable calculus, vectorial calculus, ordinary differential equations, special functions, Fourier and Laplace integral transforms, and partial differential equations, as applied in Chemical Engineering.
In 2013-2018, I was teacher (Profesor-Tutor, in Spanish) of Thermodynamics for the Mechanical Engineering Program and Electrical Engineering Program at the UNED University (Barcelona-Spain). This course is focused on the first and the second laws of thermodynamics, as well as the systematic introduction of macroscopic balances of mass, energy, entropy, and exergy, as applied to the analysis of engineering systems. In 2014, I supported teaching activities concerning Intensification in Heat and Mass Transfer, and Numerical Methods in Fluid Flow and Heat and Mass Transfer, at the UPC-BarcelonaTech.
In the period 2014-2019, I have supervised four doctoral theses (3 international doctorates and 2 industrial doctorates in cooperation with Termo Fluids S.L. and CTTC-UPC) on Computational Multiphase Flow in the framework of the Thermal Engineering Doctoral Program from the UPC-BarcelonaTech. These doctoral theses have been finished up to 2019, and were recognized with the maximum mark (Cum-Laude).
